you would be correct. and no the motors have problems like the rest just cuz ppl don't take care of the rotary necessities.... or because they beat the hell out of them like i do haha.

rotary + turbo = most fun ever lol. rotary's can spool with the best of them. i have a ok sized single on mine and i hit full boost at 3k rpms no real noticable lag. my dad has a massive t78 and hits full boost at like 3k-3200 rpms. i mean full boost not start spooling lol

Did someone say castle?

Yes. The turbo sucks the life out of engine. Sadly.

It is lowered. Just not to the extreme. If you look at it by itself you would think it's stock. Put it next to a stock rx8 and you'll see the difference. I am just not a big fan of slamming my car out to the point that if I ACCIDENTALLY hit a pot hole it'd tear my suspension apart. Besides, I got tires last week and could hardly make it up on the platform at NTB! Any lower and I could do nothing. I'd say I have probably a full inch drop.

the 3rd gen rx7's are more dependable once swapped to a single turbo when set on a low boost and daily driven. it gets rid of alot of the heat problems with the twins

rx8's look like trash when their lowered to the lowest possible setting in MY OPINION. That's the reason people love their cars so much. It's unique to that person because they do what they believe looks the best. You believe it'd look better dragging on the ground. I think it looks perfect now. And besides, it's low. The pictures do not do it justice. If you really want to see it I can take closer pictures.

how wong you are widdle man.

You have wheel gap on stock wheels therefore you are not low. Don't get me wrong, you can love you're car all day long at that height, but this little troll is also on the same car forum as you. Still like the car, but I would love to see that thing dumped.
